The Kennebec Democrat says, the opening
society event of the winter in Waterville was
the marriage of Miss Jessie Smith to Mr..
Frank Hubbard which occurred Wednesday
evening at St. Marks chapel, of which the
bride is a communicant. The nuptial rites
were celebrated by the pastor, Rev. Melville
Mclaughlin and the occasion was brilliant
and delightful one. The numerous friends
of the happy couple lavished host of elegant
and sumptuous presents to grace their welded
bliss, including some costly and beautiful
gifts from the friends of the groom and from
the Sabbath school class and others associa-
ted in religious circles with the bride Miss
Smith is beautiful and popular young lady,
whose graces and worth aside from her musi-
cal gifts and accomplishments have rendered
her favorite in Watervlle society, while
the groom, who occupies the responsible
station of freight agent, is one of the most
respected and promising of Wsterville's
young men.

ham Ferry, and cross there. The Co. will
build depot near the church on the Bng-
ham side of the river near the Ferry. Messrs.
Burgess & Mills have nearly completed the
piece from the station at No. Anson to the
Carrabasset river, and as soon as the bridge

already quite piece built in the town of
Embden. 1t is expected to have the cars run
into Bingham on July 4th, 1888, if nothing

the mysterious find drew big and excited

of the vessels were there. The bones were
evidently from some surgeons dissecting

under the banking, however, is still un-
solved.
